Description: | An Early Medieval (Anglo Saxon) copper alloy strap end (late 8th - 11th century). This is a Class B strap end with a split end, a tapering shaft and zoomorphic terminal; Type 1 decorated with transverse parallel grooves (Thomas 2003:4). The split end is wedge-shaped and there is some damage to the edge so any original rivet holes are missing. Overall the strap end is very worn and apart from the outline, very little evidence of the zoomorphic terminal remains. The copper alloy has a dark brown patina. Dimensions: length: 34.83mm; width: 6.07mm; weight: 1.82g. Reference: Thomas, G. 2003. Late Anglo-Saxon and Viking-Age strap-ends 750-1100: Part 1. The Finds Research Group Datasheet 32.
